Honestly, they didn't even try with Spottedleaf, lol. So much could have been done with her character and growth, she could have been an awesome StarClan guide, but was once again another okayish character wasted on pinning after Firestar, oof. I don't hate her, more meh on Spottedleaf, but they could have done so much for her.

I don't like Spottedleaf. Misguiding Leafpool only to scold her, being obsessed with Firestar and causing a rift between him and Sandstorm, being unnecessary to the plot...I would have liked her if her arc was more about letting go of Firestar after her death and moving on, but instead, even after Firestar's Quest, she went on to stalk his kin.

Terrible character, yet was treated like she was perfect and could do no wrong by the narrative.

I always found it weird how much the writers emphasized on her "sweet scent" and pretty dappled pelt. I also wish they didn't butcher her passion as a medicine cat for the sake of making Thistleclaw look worse.

Nope. Even when I started reading the books with my friend I absolutely hated her. Had she been better written maybe I'd like her. but she's just annoying

Nope. Got worse and worse with each book. And then dragged Thistleclaw down too. RIP

Sadly not.
I wish the authors/editors hadn't killed her off so soon and also utterly despise how she became practically obsessed with Firestar after joining StarClan and then just remained as this complete creep with the "sweet scent" until she was finally "butchered" a final time. The whole unnecessary SpottedFireSand love triangle still makes me mad to this day.
Don't even get me started on her novella. That so called "book" continues to haunt my dreams.

Terrible character, yet was treated like she was perfect and could do no wrong by the narrative. Im honestly really conflicted on these kinds of characters. I only defend Spottedleaf because I think the hate she gets is kinda nuts but I kinda get why people donβt like her now. If the narrative actually treated her as a problematic character she is she would probably be forced to get character development but the Erins have really little self awareness so... also on the contrary Iβm also know a character from another fandom who is treated like Spottedleaf in her narrative which glosses over her flaws but unlike the warriors fandom that character is loved which definitely makes me like her a little less than everyone else.

No, sheβs not well-written at all and I dislike her. She has basically no character aside from being obsessed with Firestar (aside from in her novella but her character there was kinda contradictory to her appearance in ITW by making her not always wanting to be a medicine cat, and Iβm not even going to get into the rest of that awful book).

If they treated Spottedleaf's obsession as creepy and inappropriate, I think people would like her a bit more because the book would be addressing the issue (Like how people enjoy Ashfur as a villain because the book now acknowledges how screwed up he is), but instead? They treat it as romantic and sweet.
